Autumn Finally Arrives
After the warmest September in years, and more October days in the 80’s, a freeze last Sunday reminded the trees that they had a job to do. Everything will be two weeks late this year, but no one told the Red Maples.
The western slopes of 3,100 foot Hickory Nut Mountain along the Rutherford, McDowell, Buncombe County lines are awakening with color.
In Asheville, the Sugar Maples are peaking…
Wolfpen Mountain looms on the northwest horizon as a cold front approaches.
Beautiful pictures. I wish I could take a drive in those nountains this time of the year. Have a good winter, and stay well.
Photos are beautiful, as usual…………..especially the red maples………..makes me miss fall in the mountains a little bit…….however, not what is coming next!
